The 18-year-old man accused in a vicious attack on his ex-girlfriend in Cobalt last week was sentenced to house arrest five days before the Nov. 3 assault.
Court documents obtained by CTVNewsNorthernOntario.ca show Phillipe Gagnon of Haileybury was found guilty Oct. 29 of breaking into a home and assaulting a male on May 11.
A third charge of mischief for breaking the victim's glasses was withdrawn.
Also on Oct. 29, Gagnon received two concurrent 60-day conditional sentences, 18 months probation, a two-year weapons prohibition and was ordered to submit DNA.
The conditions of his house arrest allowed him to leave his home on Algonquin Avenue in Haileybury between noon and 4 p.m. every Sunday to "acquire the necessities of life."
